I Can't Stop You Songtext
von Jeffrey Steele

Up all night, pen to paper
Four page letter, should′ve known better
Than to think you would read it
Guess I wanted you to know
I didn't want to let you go
Been dreading this day since the day you told me
That director called, said he liked your pictures
And he wanted to meet you
I died the day I said to you
"You gotta do what you gotta do"

I can′t stop you
You're a wheel already rolling
I can't keep you
You′re a bird on a wing, you′re about to fly
I can't hold you
You were never mine to hold
Guess I gotta let you go, let you go, let you go
Heaven knows I don′t wanna let you go
But I can't stop you


Rubber to road, pedal to metal
Couldn′t care less, halfway to Memphis
When the blue lights slowed me down
State trooper said, "91
Who the hell you chasing, son?"
I told him all about your angel face
Your green-eyed dreams, your headstrong ways
He took my license and ran my plates
I counted eighty-four trucks go by
And on that shoulder I began to cry

I can't stop you
You′re a wheel already rolling
I can't keep you
You're a bird on a wing, you′re about to fly
I can′t hold you
You were never mine to hold
Guess I gotta let you go, let you go, let you go
Heaven knows I can't stop you
I can′t stop you

It finally hit me you were gone
Just outside Jackson on the drive back home

I can't stop you
You′re a wheel already rolling
I can't keep you
You′re a bird on a wing, you're about to fly
I can't hold you
You were never mine to hold
Guess I gotta let you go, let you go, let you go


Heaven knows I can′t stop you
You′re a wheel already rolling
I can't keep you
You′re a bird on a wing, you're about to fly
I can′t hold you
You were never mine to hold
Guess I gotta let you go, let you go, let you go
Heaven knows I don't wanna let you go
But I can′t stop you

Oh, I can't stop you
You're a wheel already rolling
I can′t stop you
Oh, you′re a wheel already rolling
I can't stop you
